More Bleeding Edge Warfare

Infinity Ward are keeping up a steady drip of pre-release material for the forthcoming Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2. Above be the latest. Interestingly, most of the shill snatches tend to focus on the title as a gameplay, rather than narrative, commodity. It's brave, not to mention canny, studio that fronts an online ad campaign with several dead seconds of host migration presentation. Baffling for the out, manna for the in. Still, what have they got to prove? Standing at the head of a franchise adjunct whose previous installment still commands a premium price on the secondary market, why not focus on the background systems that make play that little bit easier? Nobody likes a sore loser.
